About This Book

A devotional study reflects on the humanity of Jesus through his personal relationships, portraying him as warm, approachable, and affected by friendship. Sequential chapters consider ties with his mother, his forerunner, named disciples, the Bethany sisters, and unnamed or unrewarded friendships, and treat themes such as conditions for friendship, choosing friends, comforting companions, secret intimacies, farewells, and post-resurrection encounters. Each portrait draws practical lessons about divine friendship and models how human affection, loyalty, disappointment, and consolation reveal both the character of Christ and possibilities for closer personal fellowship with him.
